From MSNBC.

Mike Gordon, who prosecuted dozens of rioters who participated in the January 6 Capitol insurrection, says he was fired from his position without warning or cause – despite receiving the highest possible performance reviews from the DOJ just two days before his termination. Gordon is now suing the Trump administration, noting in his lawsuit that he “was fired on the same day as two other Assistant U.S. attorneys who had previously worked on the prosecution of January 6th defendants, indicating that Mr. Gordon’s termination was retaliation for prosecutions that were perceived as politically-affiliated.”
